Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the incoming communication from the originating number comprises the origination identifier and an identifier associated with the target number, and wherein the call record is indicative of a quantity of failed calls associated with the origination identifier and at least one other target number.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the call record is associated with an origination identifier (OID) registry.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein determining that the number of failed calls from at least one number associated with the origination identifier satisfies the call threshold comprises determining, based on the call record, that a quantity of failed calls associated with the origination identifier satisfies the call threshold.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein determining that the originating number is an approved originating number comprises determining, based on the call record and the origination identifier, an approved list identifying one or more approved originating numbers associated with the origination identifier.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein causing the incoming communication to be processed comprises determining, based on the originating number being an approved originating number, that the target number is to receive the incoming communication.
8. The method of claim 7, further comprising appending the originating number to a list of disapproved originating numbers.
9. The method of claim 7, wherein determining that the originating number is not an approved originating number comprises determining, based on an approved list identifying one or more approved originating numbers associated with the origination identifier, that the approved list identifying one or more approved originating numbers does not include the originating number.
10. The method of claim 7, wherein causing the incoming communication to be rejected comprises determining, based on the originating number not being an approved originating number, that the target number is not to receive the incoming communication.
11. The method of claim 7, further comprising causing, based on the call record and the incoming communication, at least one further incoming communication associated with the origination identifier to be rejected.
13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the incoming communication from the originating number comprises the origination identifier and an identifier associated with the target number, and wherein the call record is indicative of a quantity of failed calls associated with the origination identifier and at least one other target number.
14. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the call record is associated with an origination identifier (OID) registry.
15. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the processor executable instructions that cause the apparatus to determine that the number of failed calls from at least one number associated with the origination identifier satisfies the call threshold further cause the apparatus to determine, based on the call record, that a quantity of failed calls associated with the origination identifier satisfies the call threshold.
16. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the processor executable instructions that cause the apparatus to determine that the originating number is an approved originating number further cause the apparatus to determine, based on the call record and the origination identifier, an approved list identifying one or more approved originating numbers associated with the origination identifier.
17. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the processor executable instructions that cause the apparatus to cause the incoming communication to be processed further cause the apparatus to determine, based on the originating number being an approved originating number, that the target number is to receive the incoming communication.
19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the processor executable instructions further cause the apparatus to append the originating number to a list of disapproved originating numbers.
20. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the processor executable instructions that cause the apparatus to determine that the originating number is not an approved originating number further cause the apparatus to determine, based on an approved list identifying one or more approved originating numbers associated with the origination identifier, that the approved list identifying one or more approved originating numbers does not include the originating number.
21. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the processor executable instructions that cause the apparatus to cause the incoming communication to be rejected further cause the apparatus to determine, based on the originating number not being an approved originating number, that the target number is not to receive the incoming communication.
22. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the processor executable instructions further cause the apparatus to cause, based on the call record and the incoming communication, at least one further incoming communication associated with the origination identifier to be rejected.
24. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 23, wherein the incoming communication from the originating number comprises the origination identifier and an identifier associated with the target number, and wherein the call record is indicative of a quantity of failed calls associated with the origination identifier and at least one other target number.
25. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 23, wherein the call record is associated with an origination identifier (OM) registry.
26. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 23, wherein the processor executable instructions that cause the at least one processor to determine that the number of failed calls from at least one number associated with the origination identifier satisfies the call threshold further cause the at least one processor to determine, based on the call record, that a quantity of failed calls associated with the origination identifier satisfies the call threshold.
27. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 23, wherein the processor executable instructions that cause the at least one processor to determine that the originating number is an approved originating number further cause the at least one processor to determine, based on the call record and the origination identifier, an approved list identifying one or more approved originating numbers associated with the origination identifier.
28. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 23, wherein the processor executable instructions that cause the at least one processor to cause the incoming communication to be processed further cause the at least one processor to determine, based on the originating number being an approved originating number, that the target number is to receive the incoming communication.
30. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 29, wherein the processor executable instructions further cause the at least one processor to append the originating number to a list of disapproved originating numbers.
31. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 29, wherein the processor executable instructions that cause the at least one processor to determine that the originating number is not an approved originating number further cause the at least one processor to determine, based on an approved list identifying one or more approved originating numbers associated with the origination identifier, that the approved list identifying one or more approved originating numbers does not include the originating number.
32. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 29, wherein the processor executable instructions that cause the at least one processor to cause the incoming communication to be rejected further cause the at least one processor to determine, based on the originating number not being an approved originating number, that the target number is not to receive the incoming communication.
33. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 29, wherein the processor executable instructions further cause the at least one processor to cause, based on the call record and the incoming communication, at least one further incoming communication associated with the origination identifier to be rejected.
